I need something that gave me a ball point feel, but with a fine tip. This has been it, and it has given me so much freedom. If comparing to microns it's around a 0.3mm. I do wish I would have gotten the AL Star just so I could have a pen that lasts longer. Well worth.

What can I say? It's a LAMY! Great pen, smooth writer and fun to use.

Lamy has become my go to pen! Great pricing and fast shipping.

I bought the LAMY Safari as a gift to my sister.
I got her into fountain pens 6 months ago.
Her favorite color is Yellow, and I will pair it with a Pilot Turquoise ink.

Keep writing and stay creative!

I got the yellow. Bright color. Writes fairly smoothly. Ink flow is not a problem. I use cartridges. Excellent value. Pen is lite weight.

This pen was very easy to use and fill. It writes very smoothly. I was using it and my 5 yr. old granddaughter saw it when I laid it down on the table. She picked it up and had no problem using it and begged to keep it to write fairy stories. It is now here pen and she uses it all the time.

I love this pen.

Really solid, coming from a metropolitan that I gave up using 5 years ago, I love it. 5 stars imo, love the blue ink it comes with, love writing with it. I could see someone not liking the grip, but it's never bothered me and in fact I really like it. Only downside is cap fits comically loose (for me at least), but it is what it is.

Giftee said it feels great in her hand and writes smoothly.

I'm trying various economically accessible "entry level" fountain pens recommended here and on other sites and articles. The Lamy Safari was one of these. I like it! The nib is smooth and easy writing, the design is fun, and the materials are high strength... and I DO like the ergonomic grip bit. Yellow was in honor of my grandson's present favorite color.

My 5th LAMY. Enough said ( or written)

LOVE!!!!!

The pen works great. There was a problem caused by our Post Office and the original shipment of the pen was lost. Goulet made getting a replacement painless, and also followed up to see if everything finally came together. Which it did.

It has taken me a while to use the ultrafine nib. I would have been better off with fine. Otherwise it handles well, is easy to use and I do not have a death grip on the pen

This is my first fountain pen and I'm over the moon. I decided to get a fun color (the yellow!) and went with the easy option of the pre-filled cartridges just so I didn't overwhelm myself with... fanciness. I guess. But this was a great choice and still feels pretty darn fancy. I recommend this to anyone just starting out. If you're nervous, get the kind of nib you usually like to write with (I went extra fine), get the cartridges in a color of your choice and go to town. Just a warning: I placed another Goulet order only a week after this pen arrived, so it is a gateway pen.

Yellow was the color of the first LAMY pen I owned over 25 years ago. I adored it. The clasp was black at the time which made the pen exceptionally distinctive. When it broke, I bought three other colors. BUT, I kept coming back to missing the yellow LAMY. I adore these pens. They are perfectly weighted and the cartridge system is so easy to use. I don't have time to be refilling pens so popping in a new cartridge is wonderful. You really can't go wrong starting with a LAMY.

I have found that the Lamy Safari and its ink cartridge is the best combo for the engineering paper I use everyday. However I didn't buy this yellow Safari because I needed another one. I bought it so I could put together the pen in the attached photo.

Writes smooth!!!

I really do love this pen. It writes nice and has good ink flow. I like how much ink it holds compared to my other pens it lasts several days longer. I am still getting use to the fine nib i bought i am a medium nib person i think.

i love this pen, its my second one, its light ergonomic and writes so smooth and nice i use it more than a pen i bought for 70$, i think i will use these LAMYs for life lol

Amazing pen great value

I started writing with fountain pens in the first grade (German school), and the Lamy Safari (F) was my first grown up fountain pen after graduating from the Pelikano Junior. I'm pretty sure I've had this exact Lamy since about the fifth grade, so well over a decade. Despite the kind of abuse kids are wont to inflict (dropping it, rarely cleaning it, throwing it in the bottom of my bag, leaving it uncapped, etc.), it still looks and writes like new in my opinion. I have fancier pens that I love, but I keep coming back to this one because it is so unfussy. I'd say its value is unmatched, and if you're looking for a low maintenance fountain pen that will last a lifetime, this is it. For most of my life, I've just used the Lamy blue cartridges because they're clean/convenient and erasable with Tintenkiller - perfect for school. This pairing writes decently on just about any paper and seems to excel on printer and loose leaf paper. In fact, this is my go-to pen for those papers. Much to my teachers' chagrin, I don't have a proper pen grip, but I don't find the triangular grip uncomfortable. I think the F nib is a great goldilocks width, especially when used with the slightly drier Lamy ink. I've included a writing sample of the Lamy compared to some similar fountain pens (as well as my favorite non-fountain EDC).

I was so excited to get my first real fountain pen. In my favorite color. I will definitely order more! I found it very easy to adapt to right away, and look forward to having more. No one at my office can kidnap my pen because it's so easily identifiable from ALL THE OTHER PENS in the office!

This pen was recommended to me by a friend, and he's right - it writes so lightly and beautifully. I may even buy another one so that I can have different ink colors going. The yellow is a great color too.

Great starter and great price point

This is my second Lamy Safari pen. The EF nib is smooth and not scratchy. The pen is comfortable to hold and I enjoy using it for drawing and sketching. This is my first order with Goulet pens and the shipping was quick.

Superb packaging and care in the shippingQuality product, will have to buy a few more in various colours!

I fully enjoy this pen. Great quality and price.

Great feel in hand,skates through my sketching sessions.

I've had other Lamy's before and I absolutely love them. They write smoothly and are extremely reliable. I couldn't ask for anything more!

I had never owned a fountain pen before this one. No other pen exists for me anymore. It is the finest writing experience I have ever been privileged to have.
